Most used glue in some form of little amount to attach the sides together, but I managing to find a couple of examples that were completely glue-less, and these are the ideas that I will take forward into my own design of the Wye Valley Brewery packaging.
The Wii Balance board box had glue to attach the sides together. But here I'm looking at the fold over that holds the plastic handle in place.
The bottom of the box has an overlapping interlock that hold quite firmly with weight in the box, which I find is a good design without using glue.
Looking at the draws that are inside the Wii console box which organises the parts into their own tidy compartments. The draw itself is made as a thick boarder. The compartments inside are made from a cleverly folded net that is held in place by the boarders of the draw.
This box is much like the wine carrier, which uses glue to hold parts of the overlapping base parts when the box is flattened.
A 3DS box, cleverly designed with no glue. Folds and small slots to hold sides in place. I will try to incorporate this element into the design of my box for stable holding. It gives a layer of strength to the sides of the box.
